Business Is Bad for Jake Gyllenhaal in This Exclusive 'Southpaw' Clip

In "Southpaw," Jake Gyllenhaal plays boxer Billy "The Great" Hope, a fighter once at the top of his game who's now hit rock bottom. And as we see in this clip, premiering today exclusively on Moviefone, that includes losing not just his livelihood, but where he lives, too.

The short scene between Billy and his manager, Jordan (played by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson), is a pivotal one, as Billy suddenly begins to realize the severity of his situation. As Jordan explains, Billy will need to sell his house to pay off his debts; when Billy says he'll just train for another fight to make some cash, Jordan reveals that no trainer -- including his own -- will touch him.

"It's just business, man," Jordan says in a half-hearted effort to comfort a distraught Billy, though of course, for the boxer, it's anything but.

Check out the clip below. "Southpaw," also starring Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker, and Oona Laurence, opens today.
